A Happy New Year to all from DW Photography and readers images and our writers. Special thanks to Jacqueline, Lois and Steve
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the readers here at DW Photography.Each passing year brings many obsticles to the revitalization of our natural habitat
throughout the world, We are still destroying what we should be preserving. More than any time on our calendar our best friend Mother Nature needs our help.
Pick your small piece of nature and keep it clean and healthy. Find garbage that other people have left behind. Take ownership “stewardship” of your environment more than ever this year.
Thanking you in advance

The Hamilton Beach Recreation Trail:
follows the Lake Ontario shoreline for about 8 km taking people from Burlington under the Lift Bridge to Confederation Park and into the former Stoney Creek. Interpretative panels describe the history of Hamilton’s waterfront and explain the restoration process. Please note there is a new way to cross the very busy Eastport Drive/Beach Blvd.-take the path that goes under the bridge rather than crossing the road.
